- Blog Updates Until Early/mid January
I'm off to my mountain retreat tomorrow with my father. This now has a landline phone but no broadband so I will be picking up emails but having very little time on the web. I have changed my Blogger settings so that I can email stories in to the...
- Back Online
Well it's not the same experience as driving a Ferrari 360 Spider (no fabulous roaring sound, no breeze blowing through my hair, no raw terror), but having the broadband back is very much like the difference between driving a moped and a seriously...
- Still Technically Challenged
Apparently it's not a problem with my ISP (or so I'm told by a call centre operator who read from a script, almost incomprehensibly). I've changed broadband routers, and that's not the problem either. Next it's a matter of changing...

A complete technical breakdown in the wilds of rural north Wales, and I found myself without an Internet connection for four days - so apologies that the blog has not been updated since last week. I will update it today with news items from the last few...
Egypt
My broadband is down
Apologies, but my broadband connection is down at the moment. It appears to be a local problem. At first my landline phone wouldn't work. After two days the complaints of friends who were getting a permanent engaged signal eventually prompted me to try it myself, with the same result (and no dial tone when I tried to make outgoing calls). So I took out and replaced all the connectors and micro-filters, swapped out all the cables and tried again. Success!! The phones work again! But, alas, the broadband now doesn't. I have no idea why. I have pared the whole thing down to an absolute minimum but nothing I do will make my broadband work. The bizarre thing is that my broadband modem (and my laptop's perception of its wireless connectivity) both think that they are perfectly connected. And both the phone and the broadband modem are connected through the same cables. I really don't get it. Any ideas from anyone gratefully received!
Anyway, until I get it sorted it's unlikely that you'll be hearing more from me than top stories and breaking news.
Cheers to all
